“We not only inherit the life that our parents built for us in their new chosen home, but also a responsibility to bear the torch and put our stamp on their legacy. Not entirely Filipino, not exactly Austrian, we are the sons and daughters of a third culture—the global citizen whose home is not one place, not one culture, not one language but a beautiful and colorful quilt of all our combined identities.” (Gerard Rababa, designer, marketing professional, communications executive) “I started suppressing my Filipino roots in school. The less foreign I seemed, the better—or so I thought. At home, I felt that I was being constantly reminded that I wasn’t the kind of Filipina that I should be. The older I got, the more I became aware of the world and myself. I was silencing me and my version. I realized that I was silencing my authenticity.” (Chelsea Amada) „Ich habe mit den beiden Kulturen in mir zu kämpfen gehabt. Es gibt Eigenschaften, die auf den Philippinen gutgeheißen werden, in Österreich nicht. Aber ich bin eben so.“ (Cynthia „Cindy“ Kurleto, Model, Schauspielerin)weiterlesen
